Good day to you.

Europe Central Bank ECB President Mario Draghi on Wednesday mentioned that the nature of all actions is temporary. In addition, financial support can not substitute for investment or prudent policy to finance infrastructure. These are needed for sustainable growth and economic stability of Europe.

As Ben Bernanke, US Federal Reserve chairman had already mentioned, the Fed needs to boost economic growth and will continue on existing policies. Bank policymakers at their meeting on Wednesday agreed to continue to keep interest rates low until late 2014. This is believe to be needed to reduce the unemployment rate, promote rapid economic growth and increase in consumption and domestic production. Having said so the GDP growth in America fell from three percent in the final quarter of last year to 2.5 percent in the first quarter of this year and this decline suggests economic growth is slowing. It is feared that the trend of dropping unemployment rate in America will be reversed.

Although American consumers in the first quarter this year were more willing to spend, America’s economic growth rate was slower.

Japan’s central bank on Friday announced a $124 billion of government debt in the form of government bonds.

From a technical perspective: The EUR/USD is in a form of confusion and uncertainty. If you look at the daily time frame, the currency pair is trapped inside a triangle. A kind of balance between buyers and sellers. If you look at the 4-hour time frame, EUR/USD is located within a bullish channel. While the currency remains in the triangle, we cannot be sure of the trend.

Have a nice time.

Masoud.
